New songs from Austin artist gfire - and her birthday party show tonight
If you haven't heard of her yet, gfire is an incredibly hard-to-define Austin singer-songwriter with an unusual Kate Bush-inspired sound. Her music has been featured on over 200 radio and television stations around the world and two of her songs (less is more (rm 61 mix)) and (i wouldn't stop) have recently been added to NPR's Undercurrents.
I was lucky enough to get a rare preview of "fade to blue", one of the songs from her upcoming albums choosing her own colours!!. It's a mix of blues with minimal electronic beats and features Danny Barnes on banjo, Warren Hood on fiddle and Danny Ray Young (in his last studio appearance ever) on washboard. Great sound.
"pink" is a trippy sitar-guitar (Denny Gilbert from Lizzi and the Lovers) melded with ethereal vocals (gfire), tabla (Jason McKenzie from Atash) and viola (Andrew Noble from Death is not a Joyride). This one is a favorite of mine. gfire has a free download of "pink" via her website along with a presale option on her new CD.
Tonight, July 24, she is hosting her 3rd annual “hot pink birthday party” at Austin Java, 12th and Lamar from 8-11 p.m. The show is completely free, open to all ages and partygoers are encouraged to either wear a pink outfit or bring a pink birthday item. A grand prize will be awarded to the person with the best pink costume. Guests will enjoy a diverse serving of all original sounds and are invited to show off their own hot pink colors.
The “hot pink birthday party” is a fundraiser for the production of gfire’s new CD “choosing my own colours!!” gfire will be pre-selling copies of the new CD and showcasing new songs from the album, giving fans a sneak peek at what’s to come.

Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More Review
Mumford & Sons' "Little Lion Man" was one of those rare songs that stopped me in the moment, made me turn the radio up, shush my boyfriend, and immediately google the lyrics to find out... "What the hell is this?!" (like, as in, "I have to have it"). I loved the song so much I went ahead and bought the full album, trusting that it would live up to "Little Lion Man," and it has. I obviously wasn't the only one who felt this way - they've been touring worldwide and, according to their website, their debut album ultimately shot up to #1 on itunes.
Most of the album evokes the exact same feelings as the aforementioned song- It is purely gorgeous. But it's not just gorgeous - the lyrics are beautiful and touching, the instrumentation is unique and perfectly produced letting the vocals share the stage equally, and the harmonies will give you chills (I'm willing to bet on that). All that banjo rocks, too. Not all of the songs are as memorable as "Little Lion Man" but, as a whole, the entire album is fun, emotive, and totally listenable. It has ample feeling and intensity without being weepy.
The bio on their website describes their style as "a gutsy, old-time sound that marries the magic of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young with the might of Kings Of Leon." I hesitate to compare them in any way to Kings of Leon but the truth and purity behind the music could definitely be compared to CSNY. This one will definitely be on frequent rotation on my ipod.

Tegan and Sara Review
Several things on the agenda for this week's blog update.
First and foremost, a quick summary of the Tegan and Sara show Friday, 2/26, at Bass Concert Hall here in Austin. I wasn't prepared for how great they would match with this venue, given that is a seated performance hall and their music is pretty upbeat and, although multi-instrumental, not really orchestral- but it was a great pairing. It made me simultaneously wish that I had a musical sister who wanted to start a band with me and that I was an adorable lesbian (which, as I'm sure you know, they both are as well as being twins); alas, I'm a straight only child so all I can do is live vicariously through them.
This was one of the best-executed shows I've seen, right on par with big-money, big-name artists like Leonard Cohen. The band was stellar and everyone segued easily from song to song with just enough banter to make the audience feel close to Tegan and Sara but not so much that you started thinking to yourself "Ok, ok, get back to the music." The lighting complimented the songs perfectly and the harmonies were gorgeous. There was a great mix of songs from their most recent album and older crowd favorites. I think the best thing about them is that they both manage to come across 100% confident with flawless execution in their music but, when they chatted with the audience, they seemed adorably awkward. Two thumbs up, highly recommended, whatever other cliches you can think of- just go see them if you get the chance.

Lissie
If you weren't one of the lucky few who got a ticket to see Lissie open for City and Colour last Thursday at Central Presbyterian Church in Austin, I won't rub it in except for saying this - it was a killer show and she is even more impressive live than I expected. She and her band were stellar and passionate enough to make you feel like it was their first time playing these songs live. And, as a side note, I met her and her down-to-earth attitude and approachability made me like her even more.
Here are a couple of links to check out for more on Lissie. I can hardly wait for her full-length to come out - the EP is not enough. Gimme more!
